Is Lupron Depot a proper birth control treatment?

My doctor is giving me lupron depot for birth control, after doing research I’m concerned because it says not a form of birth control. Is my doctor not giving me the right medication for birth control?

Your apprehension is understandable­, but let me clarify: Lupron Depot doe­s serve as birth control. It preve­nts ovulation by halting egg release­ from ovaries. Physicians also prescribe it for additional purpose­s. While the packaging may omit "birth control" labeling, your doctor provided it for contrace­ptive use. If any doubts persist, consult a gynecologist directly.

Consult a medical specialist near you for a suitable birth control pill considering your allergies. They can recommend alternatives or nonhormonal options like copper IUDs or barrier methods if required.

I am 20 yrs old . On the 28th of august, I had sex. We had unprotected sex. Little did I know, I would be ovulating today. Though he did not release it in me , I have fear that I might get pregnant. What are the chances of pregnancy and would taking a Plan B pill still be considered effective as it is already the 30th

Female | 20

The possibility of pregnancy is slightly higher because he withdrew instead of ejaculating inside you. However, there is always some risk associated with sex without a condom, especially around the time of ovulation. Taking Plan B within 72 hours after unprotected sex can reduce the chances of pregnancy. It is intended for emergencies, not regular birth control. Symptoms of pregnancy may include missed periods, nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue. Consider Plan B if you're concerned; it will help ease your worries.

Mam I took emergency contraceptive pill and i got more than 7 days periods it's 10 th day of my period and I have heavy flow I'm scared pls help me

I recommend that you have an appointment with a gynecologist today. The prolonged periods can become a side effect of emergency contraceptive pills, however, you should exclude any underlying medical conditions.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then

Female | 21

Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

I visited a dentist today. It was just a normal checkup. No surgery or any other procedure. The doctor used her magnifying glass instrument to check my oral region and then used a suction pull. Nothing else was used. This process lasted for 3-4 minutes. I have fear that what if the instrument was not cleaned properly and then used on me. Can I get HIV, Hepatitis, Herpes or HPV from it. Also I have health anxiety

Male | 19

The possibility of catching HIV, He­patitis, Herpes or HPV from ordinary dental visits is low be­cause dentists rigorously maintain sanitation protocols. Nonethe­less, if there's any discomfort or worry, it'll be­ beneficial to fix a mee­ting with your regular doctor for some blood test or have a consultation with a spe­cialist in infectious diseases.

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her sugar level is high. So I need some suggestions and how she can have a normal baby in this situation or not. The last baby is already born by cesarean.

Female | 28

If your wife's sugar levels are high during pregnancy, it's important to consult a specialist, such as an obstetrician or a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. They can provide personalized advice and monitoring to help manage her condition and ensure the best possible outcome for both her and the baby.
